...he is "a step ahead", he has already a plan to disrupt the balance of power as it is, he is a part of the "brotherhood" whose intentions are to dominate Muslims' lives with their particular dogma(s). He has the ambition to move "Turkishness'' beyond the restraints of the Treaty of Lausanne, and it is an ambition that is relevant to many in the Middle East who seek a change beyond it as a settlement. Such, the murder of an Iranian and an Iraqi hero in Baghdad, is an invitation for him to do more to destabilize the region in particular, and in general the world, with military hostilities by him.
What are in affect/effect enemies are now united; the enemy of my enemy becomes my friend.
...sadly, a war with America suits "Americans" with their Agenda just fine, toward controlling Americans themselves. Who better to have a war with, rather than a "Turk", or Putin, the Iranian regime, which is already on the ropes; sounds easy.
Erdogan, with his ambitions makes a likely ally, if it is a war, as such, against America/"America"; while he has remained silent, he is surely assessing many options.
The S400 isn't going to stop the Americans.
Those S400s can be destroyed easily by the Yanks and the S400 won't even pick up the EW-18G that launches the decoy to be detected by the radar or the F-35 or F-22 Raptor that launches the missiles to destroy their radars.
The F35 will only get detected within 20 kms and that will never happen. The F-22 detection is unknown but probably even less than the F-35.
S400s are just sitting ducks.
The Americans are always 2 steps ahead. Put it this way. The Americans are not worried about any S400s and have the tech to take them all out in minutes.
Sorry but the S400s are absolutely no match for a couple of EW-18Gs, and some stealth F-35/F-22s. Hence why the yanks are just assassinating people they don't like willy nilly with Drones.
Sorry to burst some bubbles.
The only chance an S400 has of taking out an EW-18G, F-35 or F-22 is when the Yanks stuff up and actually fly over the top of one because they didn't know they were there, which is why they will launch numerous decoys from an EW-18G to have the radars switched on and detected.
